The Delta-K is an American rocket stage, used[when?] as the second stage of several variants[which?] of the Delta rocket. As of 25 May 2008, 138 have been launched,[citation needed] and excluding one which was destroyed by the explosion of a lower stage, none have failed.[citation needed] It is propelled by a single AJ-10-118K rocket engine, fueled by Aerozine 50 and dinitrogen tetroxide,[1] which are hypergolic.

The Delta-K is still in use, currently as the second stage of the Delta II rocket.[citation needed]
